Greek tragedies aren’t really my thing. The shows are usually hard to sit through and the endings are always so sad that I want to jump off a bridge after watching them. Kidding. But seriously, Greek tragedies are hard to produce and even harder to watch if done badly. Thankfully, Kiln Theatre’s production of Girl …

gOODBYE I AM SAD
I am going to start with the coach ride to Stratford. Between Brendan, next to me, doing an honestly fantastic impression of Javier and Dru, Ben, Abby, and Shiloh doing equally amazing impressions of every other character in Les Mis back and forth to one another, the ride felt so short. I am sure to …
Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon, a great way to end the trip! This place was beautiful town that was much smaller than London, it actual felt smaller than Fayetteville. I found myself at multiple times just slowly wondering around later in the afternoon, only passing a few people here and there. The town was had similarities to London like …
The Victoria and Albert Museum
Like many of the museums that we visited, the Vitoria and Albert Museum was packed full of some amazing things. There was a specific section that was dedicated just to theater, dance, and performance. It was interesting to a full section just on these topics because in included items that were related to Harry Potter, …
Borough Market and Food
Food in London is different, this does not mean it was bad or good, I found food that was on both side of the spectrum. I visited many of the markets around London and each was filled with so many different types of food it was very hard to choose what to eat every time …
Stratford-Upon-Avon
I was kind of disappointed by the lack of theater we’ve gotten to see at the end of this trip. I was really looking forward to seeing real British Shakespearean theater and I saw none. Nonetheless, I’ve gotten to see at least half a dozen monuments to the Bard while in England. I like how …
Last Day :(:
The last leg of our trip brought us to Shakespeare’s hometown, Stratford Upon Avon. Every day of this program had been spent exploring and experiencing incredibly significant things around England. When you are surrounded by that many incredible things sometimes it can be hard to even process that it’s in front of you. We spent …
#14 Stratford and the Melancholy Art of Saying Goodbye
Stratford-upon-Avon is small…like really small compared to London. Sirens, though present, are fewer and farther between, the air is a little softer and less full of drifting conversations, and everywhere you go is Shakespeare and the smell of rose petals. It was absolutely lovely getting a chance to be out in the country for our …

June 13th: Girl on an Altar
Making our way from the hotel and trekking a longer-than-average distance from London, the group found itself in front of the Kiln Theatre for Girl on an Altar. We arrived early, but time before the show was quickly whittled down by a search for quick food (that was, for me, not fruitful) and, among a …
June 8th Part 2: The Corn is Green
Our second voyage to the National Theatre instilled more excitement than the first, at least for me. Between being more familiar with The Corn is Green than The Father and the Assassin and gaining first-hand knowledge about the quality of production the National is capable of, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing the play …
